Submissions are only accepted in PDF format and have to be submitted via the CMT system at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ICDE2015.

Authors of research papers will have an opportunity to give concise feedback on preliminary reviews within a one-week time. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings. The online proceedings may be published as early as February 1, 2015. Accepted papers will be 12 pages long. The best papers will be selected for extended versions to be published in the IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if none of the authors attends the conference to present their paper.
